In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.

What you study	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology	Law & Criminology
What it is	Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, communities, and societies — how social structures work, why people behave as they do in groups, and what causes social change. This program emphasizes law and criminology, so you'll focus on crime, justice systems, and how laws shape society rather than taking a broader sociology approach. It suits people curious about why crime happens, how the justice system works, and social issues behind criminal behaviour.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and policing practices in Canada. This online program lets you learn from home while exploring both the causes of crime and the practical side of law enforcement, rather than focusing only on theory or only on police operations. It suits people interested in criminal justice careers or further study who need flexibility to learn remotely.	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.
